Re: [Elecraft] Monitor in SSB sounds "crummy" K3s?

Everything from a Koss 40, Koss 45, Heil BM10 and 
even an old Turner 454C! And yes, I know about 
the bias issue. Again, they all sound good on a 
different radio (over the air) but horrible using MONITOR

What is the model MIC?

Subject: [Elecraft] Monitor in SSB sounds "crummy" K3s?

Hi all

I've been trying to set up a couple different microphones with my K3s
and have noticed they all sound horrible using MONITOR but on another
radio, they sound good. Specifically, it doesn't take much level
before they sound distorted, and way too....."midrangy?" whereas
listening to it on 2 other local radios they sound fine.

So am I overlooking something? I can't imagine the MONITOR audio path
would be that bad by design
